But just what is it? Wikipedia describes it as: "Cloud computing provides computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services." Gee, ok, thanks for that...I think.
Let me try to explain things in a language we can all understand. To simplify it, Cloud Computing is using software and resources that are not stored on your computer, rather, they are available on the Internet. In this way, you do not have to install any software on your computer to use the programs. There are numerous advantages to using software in this way. The first is that you don't take up precious hard drive space on your computer. All data is stored securely on a server outside your computer. Next, you don't have to worry about setting up your software correctly, and sometimes, forgetting to set one little thing, thus messing up the whole program. Also, with Cloud Computing, your data is stored securely on a server that is automatically backed up periodically, so if something goes wrong with your computer, all of your data is still secure and up to date once you get your computer back up and running. There's no chance of a hard drive failure causing you to lose all of your hard work.
Now you may think that all this is for the 'Big Guys' who can afford a ton of money for such things. That's just not the case. At WyMoSoft, we create online programs and web sites that make Cloud Computing accessible to everyone. For instance, our online database program allows anyone with Internet access to store an unlimited amount of data into a customized database. Once stored, your data can be accessed by anyone you give permission to, right over the Internet. Now I know, you're concerned about security. "I wouldn't put anything important on the Internet. There are too many hackers and bad guys out there who could get a hold of my data." This simply isn't true. Our software is developed using the latest in security technology. Every user who wants to access your data must sign in with a login and password that YOU provide them. Without it, there is no way anyone can access your data. As a demonstration, I invite you to click on the 'Database' tab on the left and play around with a simplified database demonstration.
But all I want is a simple Web Site.
You're a small business owner and you've always wanted to get your business listed on the Internet but you just don't know how to go about doing it.
